There were no grounds for believing that there was • any eh Inge in the dispositions of theklouse of Lords with reeerd to it; as they had opposed it on the broad general Principle of its interference with the prerogative of -the Crown, He had indeed heard onC of his Majesty's Ministers bad been bold enough to say, that the Resolutions of the House of Cern /nuns against then granting of offices in reversion. would be the strongest indncements with him to ad vise his Majesty tc.) grant offices in reversion, in order that the royal prerogative might be duly asserted. Had be, or had he nut.been correctly informed on this suejea? The Right HoneGentlernan had said that nothing would be saved by the Bill on the score , 'of economy. It was Impossible for any one to wish snore sinceielythan himself that the people should thoroughly undeistand, that any saving that might accrue from the reductionor abolition of places must • bear but a v, , ty small proportion indeed . to !he' pub lic.expeeeite re. But however trivial die stem might be, it eve; there wasei moment for the House to aliew a disposition -to economy, it was the present. lie was tar froni desiring that they would be influe eliced by popular clamour; but he entreated that . 'they w ou ld not let the strong impression of p o p ular opinion indute them to - run directly counter to it.— Because there was a general cry for Reform, he Would not have the House therefore declare that they wer e less dispo s ed to Reform tban.they were last year. He wou ld not h ave them say to the people, " You are a set of noisy rogues ; but the sole effeta of the exelession rsf your opinion is to make us shriek from the o nl y little attempt at public economy that we ever made." Would such a declaration be pru . dent ? He could comprehend many reasons for not • giving way to the heat of the public enind ; but be also telt that on the subject of temperate- reform, it was the duty of the House to go before the public oluniun, and to anticipate by legislative acs the pub lic wish, ' ' He was very aIIXIOUs- to . knowin what teloper, whether of ,triendship or of hostility, the Right Honourable Geetleman opposite intended to cotne to iiiiussion of the motion of,his Honour- i able Friend, on the third report of the Committee oti Finance. •I 3 d he hitns-Al mean to propose any Ilestilution s lt was well known, that the peculiar situation o, auisters enabled them, if they these to suggest thy'- most efficacious:remedies tor public abuses.

Mr. WHITBREAD did not approve of the Nobl e Lord's thus repeatedly adding Clauses; which he got hurried through the Honse in a few minutes, when no one could be prepared to oppose them He did not think the praCtice of raising militias merely • to recruit the line ought to be countenanced.

'WyNNE did not think it right to Collect men' together as militias, and suffer recruiting ser jeants to tamper with them and Prevail upon them to enter into the line. He would therefore propose a clause, the object of which was to prohibit all recruiting from the Local Militia while they were training. • Mr. Guns supported the Clause.

This camp will be composed of the troops that surround the capital, and will also strengthen thAustrian army. One of the Nonitears,contalus a long article, dated Stockholm, but written in Paris, giving an account of the cessation of hostilities between Russia and Sweden. It was yesterday reported, that the Danish Go vernment had consented to open the Port of Tonin gen, but we believe that it has merely granted per misSion to the neutral Vessels in that Port to sail, in" ballast. Tite accounts which we have reeeived front Por tugal. are rather of a contraditiorY nature, but still we are convinced that the intelligence brought by thd wire; respeaing the distressed situation of SOULT'S army, iy well-formded, and that unless 'he : receives very powerful ,sslstance from the south, he will be under the nteessity of surrendering. The accounts from Gallicia fully confirm those which we some days ago laid before our readers: The French are entirely confined, to'the fortresses of Ferrol, Co runna, and St. Jago, and it is said, but*we do not vouch for the fa& that fetters'from the Freneh Ge neral• NEY to JOOIPH BUnicAPAIITE have been in tercepted, in which he represents his situation as extremely desperate, and earnestly presses for re inforcements. It W3/1 reported yesterday afternoon, that Govern ment bad received an account from Freligol,3nd, of an action having taken place in Bavaria, between the Austrians and French, in which the foriner were sue cessiul.

They state that a General Officer hf Artil lery, entrusted 'with the care nt an extensive, mega zinc, established near the fr(altiers of Bavaria, having corrupted' several of the ofiicers under his command, `had formed a plan'ofdelivering up that valuable de pot, in which stores of all, kind's were colle4:tecl, to the enemy. A letter, fortunately intercepted,, l e d to the discovery of the plot, and the traitor and his accomplices were secured and thrown into prison. The following is 'a copy or an 'official dispatch from Estrernadure, dated the 81st ult.;--" The Duke of Albuquerque .has succeeded in forming a junction with . Cuesta, and with r a part of U r bi tia ' s army.' The latter is charged to guard the position: in the rear of the bridge of Arzebispo and carcleal.-- Cuesta has twice offered 'battle to General Vi6tor, hut he has not accepted these offers, waiting, ss we suspea, . for the arrival of reinforcements._ The, French penetrated to within four leagues of Badajez„ whence they,have been repulsed by the Spaniards; with the assista n ce of Alb uonerqup . The result of the Wllion was.the capture of a General, and more „ than tloo men, w ho h ave be en con d uc t e d to S ev i l l e, and the slaughter of about 70er.
